Subject: Vehicles Aplenty
If you like old vehicles, you may like this short. It's a little blah otherwise.
There's nary a belligerent passenger on any of these bus and streetcar routes, nor anyone doing something moronic on the road.
The film is shot MOS over narration.The narrator's familiar from NBC Chicago but I can't name him.
Subject: MAN MAN MAN!
Subject: Women, pay no attention!
1) Be a male.
This is probably the most sexist Your Lifes Work Ive seen yet. Its hilarious how the narrator pauses for effect on the He when mentioning the first requirement on being a Bus driver. You can be a bus driver, cab driver, mechanic, dispatcher, executive, the skys the limit! But you have to be Male! Male! Male! As a matter of fact, we get a tinge of excitement when we DO see a female working in a transportation area job. Of course, shes the secretary of some executive hot-shot. It all becomes rather depressing after awhile.
Aside from that, theres great footage of old time vehicles here. Surprisingly, not much has changed in the shape or function of these vehicles.
